Scheduled for 11 p.m. on the Beach Stage, the Noche De Ondas featuring Mickey and the Miracles set will span 90 minutes. “This music ties together many musical worlds; the world of Blues through the soulful slide guitar of Derek Trucks, the world of Latin music through the percussion mastery of Giovanni Hidalgo and Karl Perazzo, the world of New Orleans Funk through the bass playing of Isaac Eady, and the world of rock and roll through the tight and energetic drumming of Jay Lane and the cosmic sounds from the mind of Mickey Hart,” noted an announcement of the performance on the event’s social feeds. “Pow Pow into the Now!”
Dead Ahead will be held at Moon Palace Resort in Riviera Cancún, Mexico from January 12-15, 2024. The all-inclusive Carribean concert vacation will feature curated collaborations honoring the legacy of the Grateful Dead. Select packages remain available for purchase via TIXR.com.
